Price action continued its bearish seek of the low end of the trading range yesterday and seems to be seeking the low end of the range for the upcoming period. While there is some variation as history rhymes, prompt gas continues to follow the pattern of the spring/early summer of ’23. A year ago, prompt gas traded the May high on 05/19 at $2.685: this year at $2.924 on 05/23. The early June ‘23 seasonal low traded on 06/01 while this year on 05/29. The June ‘23 – Q2 high traded on 06/28…about $.15 higher than the May high ($2.839…after which expiring July faded to go off the board at $2.603). So far, the June ’24 high has traded $.235 higher than the May high. I am always startled by how a commodity like natural gas seems to follow some of its historical traits. Let the low range become defined as the fundamental input is well established.
Major Support:, $1.595, $1.52-$1.511, $1.481, $1.312 Minor Support : $2.944, $2.64, $2.448, $2.168, $2.12, $2.00, $1.967- $1.94 Major Resistance: $3.00, $3.16
